Shakira Giza Pyramids 2026: One Night in Egypt on 28 November
Shakira performs beside the Giza pyramids on Saturday 28 November 2026, in her first Egyptian concert since 2007. The date belongs to her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour.
The concert is one evening only, and nothing in the vendor listing points to a multi-day event. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the music starts at 8 p.m. Cairo time.
Where the Concert Actually Takes Place
The stage stands on the Giza plateau at Al Haram, on the western edge of greater Cairo. Listings give the address as Nazlet El-Semman, in Giza Governorate, next to the pyramid field.
Giza is a separate governorate from Cairo, though the two cities run into each other without a visible border. The plateau lies roughly 20 kilometres from central Cairo by road.
What Tickets Cost and Who Sells Them
Ticket Egypt is the official vendor, working for the promoter Venture Lifestyle. Prices are quoted in Egyptian pounds rather than in dollars, and they are released in numbered waves.
The National reported an entry price of EGP 7,055, about 136 US dollars, in August 2026. The Cairo site This is Cairo listed a golden circle wave at EGP 12,555, roughly 243 US dollars.
Why the Date Moved from April to November
Shakira and her team first set the concert for 7 April 2026, then moved it. The organisers named the situation in the region as the reason for the change.
Tickets bought for the April date stay valid for 28 November, according to the organisers. Ticket Egypt also handles refunds and exchanges for buyers who cannot attend the new date.
The Pyramids as a Concert Site: The Long View
International artists have performed beside the pyramids since the 1970s, in bursts rather than in a steady run. Shakira, who played at the foot of the monuments in 2007, said she is “very happy to be performing in Egypt.”
Those bursts follow Egypt’s tourism cycle more closely than they follow music. Bookings thin out when travel to the country falls, and they return when arrivals recover.
The Rest of the Middle East Leg
Shakira’s regional dates have moved repeatedly this year. Planned shows in Abu Dhabi, in Aqaba in Jordan and in Doha were all postponed earlier in 2026.
The Abu Dhabi show returns on 21 November 2026 as part of the OFFLIMITS festival at Etihad Park. That festival is a separate event in the United Arab Emirates, a week before the Giza night.
Practical Notes for Foreign Residents in Egypt
The plateau is reached by road, and taxis or ride apps are the usual way in from Cairo. Traffic on the approach roads through Haram builds heavily on event evenings.
Tickets are priced in Egyptian pounds, so a card that handles pound charges avoids a conversion fee. Bring the passport or residence card used at booking, since the gate rules for the plateau have not been published.
What Has Not Been Published
Ticket Egypt has not put out a full current price table for the November date. The figures circulating come from earlier sales waves, and readers should treat them as a guide rather than a quote.
No support act has been named, and no set list has been announced. Both usually appear in the final weeks before a date of this size, and the Giza night is still two months away.
